Two First Red Candle Route
Created by Breastickle, this is a fairly safe 2 first route that has netted PBs for a few people.
This route is highly recommended if you are not comfortable running the 3 first WR route.
A few notes about the route. Depending on your rupy count, you can purchase Meat and Arrows either after 3 or 4 allowing you to whistle to 3 and save a few screens of time. There is also the option to get a potion before 9 if you want extra safety.
Get the Wooden Sword out of the cave on the starting screen
Make your way to Level 2
After leaving Level 2, get the 30 SECRET under the Armos
Get the 30 SECRET one screen north
Get the HEART CONTAINER one screen west
Get the WHITE SWORD from the cave over the waterfall (enter the screen, exit and reenter in order to get a favorable spawn for the Lynel that is on the screen)
Another trick here that Eunos and Breastickle found out, is that if you don't reset the screen and get the sword, you can skip the Stalfos key on the right as you enter 1 (get the key in 9 instead) and the Stalfos in the water room with the key will spawn right in the middle of your path, saving you some seconds.
Enter Level 1
After leaving Level 1, get the 30 SECRET north of start
Enter Level 3
At any time after 3 or 4, if you have 140 rupies, it is suggested you buy MEAT and ARROWS to save some time later.
Enter Level 4
Wrap toward the graveyard, but instead go south and do a world wrap (something I like to call a Wormhole) to the LADDER HEART
Go north and get the RAFT HEART
Make your way to Level 5
After leaving Level 5, use the Recorder to warp to Level 3 (or to 4 if you need to get MEAT and ARROWS)
Buy MEAT from the blue ring shop and ARROWS from the shop on the screen below if you haven't already purchased after Level 3 or 4
Enter Level 7
Get the RED CANDLE
After leaving Level 7, scroll to the graveyard
Collect the MAGIC SWORD from the old man at the grave
Enter Level 6
After leaving Level 6, use the Recorder to warp to Level 2
Enter Level 8
After leaving Level 8, use the Recorder to warp to Level 1
OPTIONAL: Get a RED POTION from the Pick Any location south of 1
Enter Level 9
